Kensington Palace release cute new portraits of Prince George for his sixth birthday

Prince George turns six today, July 22, 2019 and to mark this very special occasion in the young British royal’s life, his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have, as is becoming tradition, released three new portraits of Prince George to mark the day.

The young royal is reportedly enjoying a holiday with his family on the Caribbean island of Mustique, but prior to jetting away for the summer break, he allowed his mum, Kate Middleton, — the unofficial Cambridge family photographer — to take two charming snaps of him in the garden of their London home, Kensington Palace. The third picture was taken on “holiday”, presumably the holiday they’re currently on.

The trio of candid pictures of the birthday prince were shared on the Cambridge’s official Instagram, @kensingtonroyal. In the first picture taken in the palace garden by Middleton, a beaming, gap-toothed Prince George, wears the official jersey from the England National Soccer Team. Prince George’s dad, Prince William, is a keen soccer fan and is the President of England’s Football Association, his son is clearly also keen on the sport.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge captioned the image with a balloon and soccer ball emoji along with the following sweet note: “Happy Birthday Prince George! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share new photographs of Prince George to mark His Royal Highness’s sixth birthday. This photograph was taken recently in the garden of their home at Kensington Palace by The Duchess of Cambridge. Thank you everyone for all your lovely messages!”

In the second picture from the portrait series the six-year-old prince wears a forest green polo T-shirt and blue and white striped shorts and is smiling shyly for his mum (who is behind the camera). The Cambridges captioned this image with a birthday cake emoji along with noting the location of this picture and reiterating the family’s gratitude over all the kind birthday wishes for Prince George. “Happy Birthday Prince George! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share new photographs of Prince George to mark His Royal Highness’s sixth birthday. This photograph was taken on holiday with the family by The Duchess of Cambridge. Thank you everyone for all your lovely messages!”

The final snap looks to have been taken on the same day as the first and is just pure joy; Prince George is lying on the grass laughing uncontrollably. We’d love to have heard the joke his mum, Middleton, said to cause such a hilarious reaction just prior to taking his picture.
